Inky ruby. Aromas of crushed blackberry, licorice, chocolatey oak and clove. Supple, sweet and full, with gentle acidity providing delineation to the dark berry compote flavors. Finishes with lingering notes of sweet dark berries and white pepper.

The 2008 Pillar Box Reserve Shiraz spent 8 months in French and American oak. Purple-colored, it delivers an alluring nose of cedar, lavender, pepper, and blueberry. Concentrated and layered on the palate, it has more than ample succulent fruit, good balance, and enough structure to ensure 4-5 years of pleasurable drinking. The Morse Code label is a new addition to the Henry’s Drive portfolio. Importer: Quintessential Wines, Napa, CA; tel. (914) 725-3479
